great watches!!
I'm a fan as they sponsor the mclaren formula 1 team, great watches, make a great statement, it's almost as though telling the time is an after-thought!

I believe Cal. 8 is built on ETA movement (ETA 2894-2). You can get watches built on 2894-2 for much, much less (a few hundred dollars).

Many, many watches use the 2894-2 movement, which makes that watch not so unique. But if it breaks it is cheap to replace the watch movement.

how much each of these movements cost and why is one better than another?

Second watch. battery dies 1 year after I buy it. Take it in 75$ for a new one and needs service for general cleaning. Total 250 again and I get it back.

what kind of watch battery cost 75$?

From about $300 wholesale up (depending on how many units you buy at once). Well, to put it simple: some can deliver better accuracy, more beats per hour, higher wear resistance on the wheel train, can run longer without having to wind it up or wear it on your wrist and so on...

I wish I could afford a TAG Heuer.

Yes, a watch for the clueless layman. Rolex is overrated, mass produced and over-priced.

Get a Franck Muller instead.

So what movements do they have? Maybe some unique-special built? I mean what should justify high price of a watch (speaking in general, not only about F Muler)?

They are unique mechanical masterpieces with everything made in house. Good craftsmanship justifies a high price.

TAGs are the best watch in their price range. I love mine

Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre keep their value a lot better..

Apples and oranges dude, you can't compare a $3k watch to a $20k one.
